Hey everyone, I'm thinking about switching from PyQt6 to PySide6 because of some licensing issues. However, if I make that change, I'll have to find a new text editor widget since QScintilla doesn't have bindings for PySide. I'm not keen on going back to the standard QPlainTextEdit because I need something more suitable for source code editing, particularly with features like indentation guides. Do any of you have suggestions for alternatives? I'm considering using Monaco through QTMonaco, but I'm wondering if there are better options or ones that might be easier to work with. Any resources or recommendations would be great!

What kind of apps are you working on that require those specific widgets? For licensing, keep in mind that if you're creating commercial apps, you would typically need a commercial license for Qt or PyQt. But I've heard that using PySide for internal tools could work without that extra cost.
I'm also interested in your project! It's cool to see tools made for internal use, especially when they make writing specifications easier.
Actually, you can definitely use PySide for commercial apps without needing a commercial Qt license. That could save you some money! It sounds like you're doing something interesting at work.
